***This lecture is sponsored by the IAFIE Washington DC Chapter and the IWP IAFIE Alpha Student Chapter*** About the Lecture: For a long time, the Australian Signals intelligence (or Sigint) story has been kept secret. Until now… Why does Australia have a national signals intelligence agency? What does it do and why is it controversial? And how significant are its ties with key partners, the United States, the United Kingdom, Canada and New Zealand, to this arrangement? Revealing Secrets is a compelling account of Australian Signals intelligence, its efforts at revealing the secrets of other nations, and keeping ours safe. It brings to light those clever Australians whose efforts were for so long entirely unknown or overlooked. Blaxland and Birgin traverse the royal commissions and reviews that shaped Australia's intelligence community in the 20th century and consider the advent and the impact of cyber. In unearthing this integral, if hidden and little understood, part of Australian statecraft, this book increases our understanding of the past, present and what lies ahead. About the Speakers: John Blaxland is Professor of International Security and Intelligence Studies in the Strategic and Defence Studies Centre (SDSC), Coral Bell School of Asia Pacific Affairs at the Australian National University (ANU). He is a Senior Fellow of the Higher Education Academy and a Fellow of the Royal Society of New South Wales. He was also formerly a military intelligence officer, Head of SDSC and Director of the ANU Southeast Asia Institute. He is the author and editor of several publications on military history, intelligence and international security affairs. Clare Birgin's career in the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade (DFAT) spanned 30 years, with a focus on national security and intelligence. She had postings in Warsaw, Moscow, Geneva, and Washington DC as the Liaison Officer of the Office of National Assessments, followed by postings as Ambassador in Hungary, Serbia, Kosovo, Romania, North Macedonia and Montenegro. Subsequently she was a Visiting Fellow at the ANU before joining John Blaxland's history writing team. She has been awarded the Polish Government's Knight's Cross Medal and the Bene Merito Medal by the former Polish Foreign Minister.

Russian troops carried out a large rocket raid on Ukrainian territory on the same day and it was initially believed they were responsible for the attack. The narrative quickly changed, indicating that the missile could also have been an element of Ukraine's anti-aircraft defences in which the self-destruct mechanism failed to work. On Thursday, a Polish government spokesperson confirmed that the missile belonged to the Ukrainians. “The materials gathered by our and allied services indicate that the reason for this incident was Ukraine's defensive actions against Russia's offensive actions,” said Müller. “Russia unlawfully interferes with the territorial integrity of another country and here there is no doubt as to who bears moral responsibility for this type of situation,” he added. Przewodów was visited by the President of Poland, Andrzej Duda on Thursday. “It is definitely unfortunate that there was an accident, absolutely unintentional, it was not that this missile was aimed at Poland, it was not that this could be treated as an attack on Poland,” the president noted. “There is a war going on across our border, Russia fired several hundred missiles against Ukraine, Ukraine defended itself, and in the course of these actions, unfortunately, what happened happened. No one wanted to harm anyone in Poland, let alone deprive anyone of life,” Duda explained. Reports that Poland was hit by a Ukrainian missile were denied by both Kyiv and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, who said the missile must have been Russian.

"Is éadóigh gur ón Rúis a scaoileadh diúracán leis an bPolainn". The President of the United States, Joe Biden, has indicated that the missile that exploded in a village in eastern Poland yesterday evening and killed two people was apparently not fired from Russia. Tá sé tugtha le fios ag Uacharán na Stát Aontaithe Joe Biden gur cosúil nach ón Rúis a scaoileadh an diúracán a phléasc i sráidbhaile in oirthear na Polainne tráthnóna inné agus ar maraíodh beirt dá bharr. The story of the explosion was communicated to President Biden at a summit meeting of the leaders of the G20 countries - apart from Russia - which is taking place in Bali, Indonesia. Cuireadh an scéal faoin bpléasc in iúl don Uachtarán Biden ag cruinniú mullaigh de cheannairí thíortha an G20 - seachas an Rúis - atá ar siúl i mBailí san Indinéis. After some of the leaders consulted together in a sub-meeting and discussed the information that existed at the time, President Biden said that the missile was fired from Russia. Tar éis do chuid de na ceannairí dul i gcomhairle le chéile i bhfochruinniú agus an fhaisnéis a bhí ann ag an am a phlé, dúirt an tUachtarán Biden gur éadóigh gur ón Rúis a scaoileadh an diúracán. He indicated that the United States and other countries would help the Polish Government to investigate and substantiate the fatal incident. Thug sé le fios go gcuideodh na Stáit Aontaithe agus tíortha eile le Rialtas na Polainne an eachtra mharfach a fhiosrú agus a chur le bonn. It was reported yesterday evening that two farm workers were killed when the missile exploded south of the village of Przewodów about ten kilometers from the border with Ukraine. Tuairiscíodh trathnóna inné gur maraíodh beirt oibrithe feirme nuair a phléasc an diúracán i ndeas do shráidbhaile Przewodów thart ar dheich gciliméadar ón teorainn leis an Úcráin. The Associated Press news agency reported at the time - citing an American intelligence officer as their authority - that it was a Russian missile. Thuairiscigh áisíneacht nuachta an Associated Press ag an am - agus oifigeach faisnéise Meiriceánach tugtha mar údarás acu - gur diúracán Rúiseach a bhí ann. Poland is a member of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (ECAT) and the Polish Government has announced that the country's military forces are on standby in view of what happened yesterday, whatever or whoever it was. Ballstát d'Eagraíocht Chonradh an Atlantaigh Thuaidh (ECAT) is ea an Pholainn agus tá sé fógartha ag Rialtas na Polainne go bhfuil fórsaí míleata na tíre ar fuireachas i bhfianaise ar tharla inné, cibé rud nó dream ba shiocair leis.

This lecture is part of the 12th Annual Kościuszko Chair Spring Symposium in honor of Lady Blanka Rosenstiel sponsored by the Kościuszko Chair in Polish Studies and the Center for Intermarium studies. About the lecture: In early 1919, newly reborn Poland was virtually a landlocked country. Border conflicts caused by the geopolitical earthquake of World War I had brought international trade to a standstill. The only hope for economic relief and humanitarian aid to the war-ravaged nation was access to the Baltic sea through German-controlled Danzig. In the late winter of 1919, the small Mission to Danzig, led by the first chief of the American Relief Administration in Poland, Colonel William R. Grove, and the versatile Chief Delegate of the Polish Government, Mieczysław Jałowiecki, would play an indispensable role in opening Poland's economy to the world, before the decisive showdown with Bolshevik Russia in 1920. About the speaker: Nicholas Siekierski earned his PhD at the Tadeusz Manteuffel Institute of History at the Polish Academy of Sciences in Warsaw. His dissertation, "Operations of the American Relief Administration in Poland, 1919-1922", tells the story America's critical role in the early history of the Second Polish Republic. Dr. Siekierski is also a translator, most recently of 485 Days at Majdanek, the memoir of concentration camp survivor Jerzy Kwiatkowski, published last year by the Hoover Institution. It was the subject of a presentation at last year's Kościuszko Chair Spring Symposium at IWP.

Robotic Pets Are Doing Wonders For Dementia Patients, Veterans, Pediatric Patients and Now Even the Children of Ukraine Who've Had to Leave Their Pets Behind. Capital Caring Health, one of the nation's oldest non-profit advanced illness care and hospice providers, has begun to incorporate Robotic Companion Pets into their care plans in a partnership with Ageless Innovation and their  'JOY FOR ALL' robotic pets. This company was Co-Founded by former Hasbro Executive Ted Fischer who is now the CEO. These pets have proven in numerous clinic studies to provide joy, comfort, and interactive companionship to patients and peace of mind to their families and caregivers. In the cases of devastating dementia, among the benefits are reduction in agitation, prevention of depression, and often a reduction in medications being administered.” Steve Cone, Chief of Philanthropy at Capital Caring says, “The robotic pets are quite remarkable and interactively react to human touch, movement, and voice—like real pets. As we like to say no need to feed or walk or clean up after them—just enjoy their LOVE.” Capital Caring aims to make these robotic pets available free of charge to anyone around the country. Capital Caring Health (CCH) efforts to provide Ukrainian Children who fled their homes and left their real pets behind with a companion robotic dog or cat, has the blessing of the Polish Government, and the robotic pets will be flown to Poland for distribution to refugee children. You can support this effort by donating directly on CCH's website capitalcaring.org and by clicking the green donate button in the top right of their homepage, and selecting the ‘Patient Pet Services and Robotic Companion Pets' program option. Then indicate donation is in honor of the children of the Ukraine. Both Steve Cone Chief Of Philanthropy at Capital Caring Health and Ted Fischer Co_Founder and CEO of Ageless Innovation join me to talk about this remarkable partnership.

In February European Parliament will send a monitoring mission to Poland and Hungary in order to investigate reports of the illegal use of Pegasus. On this occasion, Karolina Zbytniewska, the editor-in-chief of EURACTIV Poland discussed with Esteban González Pons, vice chair of the European People's Party about Pegasus and democracy in Poland. “European Union is not only a market. It's a number of countries that defend common values and common principles. And those are especially democracy and rule of law” - says Esteban González Pons.

Adam Easton reports from Warsaw on the conflict between Polish Government and the EU.

This week's Forum 2000 Summer Special hosted Adam Bodnar, former Polish ombudsman, lawyer, educator, and human rights' activist, and Vesna Pusić, Croatian sociologist who previously served as Minister of Foreign and European Affairs. In a discussion moderated by Martin Ehl, Chief Analyst for Czech Economic daily Hospodářské noviny, they look at the state of democratic institutions 30 years after the fall of Communism in Europe. Key takeaways: If Poland wants to receive EU funding in the future, it must resolve the issue of judicial independence. The Polish Government has gained much firmer control over information than it did six years ago. In 30 years, the so-called new democracies have had only a short time to develop. The focus on civic education in schools is showing concrete results in how people vote. Weakness in institution building has brought people who doubt their worth. We won't fight for institutions if we think of them in terms of personal benefits.

Former war correspondent and author Jack Fairweather joins Tim to talk about the one man who elected to volunteer to be taken prisoner to fight the Nazis from inside of Auschwitz during World War II. Jack tells Tim why the world is only learning more about Witold Pilecki now, and how his story of bravery, heroics and the ultimate sacrifice almost was lost to history. Pilecki took on one of the most daunting tasks anyone would take in the war. https://traffic.libsyn.com/shapingopinion/The_Volunteer_auphonic.mp3   Think about this for a second. He's the only known voluntary inmate of Auschwitz. He spent spent two and a half years as a member of the Resistance, gathering intelligence from German army during World War II from inside the concentration camp. Now, let that sink in. Witold Pilecki was a member of the Polish army, and on September 19th 1940, he intentionally allowed himself to be arrested by the Nazis. After that he was detained with roughly 1,800 Polish political prisoners, and then he was taken to Auschwitz, where he would be imprisoned for the next two and a half years. To his captors, he was nothing more than Prisoner 4859. Click here to buy book via Amazon Here's what happened. Pilecki, a Catholic, had already served in the Polish Army and married a local school teacher named Maria before the hostilities started. They had two children. He ran the family farm, painted and wrote poetry and lived a quiet life. In 1939, he was called back to military service when the Nazis invaded Poland. Poland was quickly defeated and became occupied by the German army. After that, Pilecki found his way to Warsaw to serve as part of the underground resistance against the Nazis. Not long after that, in August of 1940, the Nazis had taken prisoner a group of Polish political opponents and transported them to Auschwitz. It didn't take long before the families of those prisoners were notified of their deaths. The Polish underground suspected murder, but needed more information. That was when he volunteered to investigate from the inside. After two and a half years, he would escape and write a 100-page report on life inside the Auschwitz death camp. The Mission In October 1940, Pilecki successfully sent out his first report with a released inmate. It reached the Polish Government-in-exile in March 1941, who passed it onto the Allies. At the time of Pilecki's internment, Auschwitz was a concentration camp intended to hold predominantly political prisoners from Poland. He witnessed the changing demographic and horrifying treatment of each persecuted group. His reports described the early experiments conducted on Soviet prisoners of war, who were murdered with poisonous gas. This laid the foundations for the mass-murder of many Jews in the purpose-built gas chambers and crematoria. He described the pain suffered by other prisoners undergoing experiments against their will; many died from their injuries. Pilecki over time met fellow members of the Polish underground and began to create a secret organization inside Auschwitz. The organization ran at great risk. They built a radio transmitter from smuggled parts. Through this transmitter, he reported on conditions inside the camp, and he told of the number of deaths. At some point he had to stop communicating for risk of being discovered. Witold Pilecki Escapes Pilecki escaped Auschwitz in April 1943. He decided to escape this time because key members of his organization were sent to other concentration camps. He felt he would get transferred, too. He and two others only had one night to carry out their plan. They knew if they failed, they'd be hung in a public execution. They removed the bolts from a heavy door while the guards' backs were turned. All three traveled about 100 miles over one week on foot to reach safety. Freedom and Captivity Once Again Pilecki found refuge at a friend's parents' home,

In their 1989 book After the Ball, homosexual activists Marshall Kirk and Hunter Madsen called for a “conversion of the average American’s emotions, mind, and will” on homosexual behavior “through a planned psychological attack, in the form of propaganda fed to the nation via the media.” Decades later, the same phenomenon is apparent in contemporary Eastern Europe. In Poland, however, the current government is not walking quietly into that pink night. As Reuters reports: Read the article here!

In the second half of the 1930s the Polish Government abandoned its previously liberal policies towards Poland's large Jewish population and instead hoped to force mass migration to the British mandate of Palestine. Their partners in this endeavour were the extreme right wingers on the zionist movement, the revisionists, led by Vladimir Jabotinsky.If you can spare a dime towards the hosting, I'd be ever so grateful: https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/help-fund-the-explaining-history-podcast/x/13613771#/ See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Professor Jan Pakulski analyses these developments in the broader context of the rapid economic development, new social divisions, and the polarisation within the Polish political elite combined with electoral re-alignment.
